There have been many rumors and leaks that Meta will let users decide to see less politics-related content on Instagram and Threads since the beginning of this year. Recently, the company has confirmed that this option is finally rolling out to users on both platforms. It is a good piece of information for all Instagram and Threads users who don’t want to see political content on their social media handles. Now, let’s dig into how this option works.

Instagram and Threads Users Now Have A New Optipn To Limit Political Content

According to Meta, the new option will serve as a measure. It will not proactively recommend political content from accounts you don’t follow. It is pertinent to mention here that the new toggle will be enabled by default. However, users can manually opt if they want to see political content on their timeline or not. If enabled, Instagram and Threads will only show political content from accounts you follow. Reports claim that the new toggle is rolling out to users. However, it is still not clear whether the option is limited to certain regions globally.

Here’s how to check if your Instagram and Threads accounts have the new option:

• Open Instagram or Threads
• Go to your Account Settings menu
• Tap the Suggested Content option
• Choose the Political Content menu (if available)

The settings will impact suggestions in Explore, Reels, Feed, and Suggested Users as it automatically applies to both Instagram and Threads. Try to install the latest versions of the Instagram and Threads apps on your phones so that you can get the new features.
